Trump Has Huge Lead Over Cruz in Two SC Polls
by Cathy Burke Donald Trump has a commanding lead in the GOP presidential primary field in South Carolina in two new polls – including one in which the real estate billionaire has more than double the support of his nearest rival, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.
The surveys,
the South Carolina House Republican Caucus, and the
Opinion Savvy Poll, come just eight days ahead of the Palmetto State's Feb. 20 primary.
Here's the breakdown in the South Carolina House Republican Caucus survey:
- Trump: 34.5 percent
- Cruz: 15.5 percent
- Florida Gov. Jeb Bush: 13 percent
- Florida Sen. Marco Rubio: 12.5 percent
- Ohio Gov. John Kasich: 8.5 percent
- Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson: 5 percent
- Undecided: 11 percent
Trump beats the competition among conservatives, moderates, libertarians, independent and across age groups – and even edges out Cruz with tea party Republicans, 37 percent to 36 percent.
The results were posted
by The Hill.
In the Opinion Savvy survey, the results show:

Nothing says principled conservatism like stuffing your pockets with gay activist cash. Sorry, Cruz’s campaign has been neither principled or conservative.

As a Trump supporter I am concerned Trump is so far ahead in the polls. It will get very dirty in attempt to take him down. Huge amounts of money at stake here...cheap labor express....GOP establishment gravy train, foreign govts and so on.
Still think the chances of Trump being assassinated are high.

You mean like that one time, at Texas BandCamp, when...
"Ohhhhho say can you seee...."
"8-1984 - Lawrence King [Homosexual and alleged Pedophile] throws a lavish party in Dallas, Texas, after singing the National Anthem at the Republican National GOP Convention."

Who was running in 1984 again?
All that says is the nature of the parasites drawn to political movers like Reagan and Cruz hasn't changed in 30 years.

What is this post all about? I’ve been nothing but friendly and helpful. Why attack me?
To: HLPhat
My definition of Conservatism is President Trump’s policy promises. Tell us conservatives which of Trump’s policy promises are not conservative please.

He talks a good story, but he supports Common Core, a revamped Obamacare, eminent domaine, ethanol and abortion.
Your so smart the only one that your right on is ethanol, and ethanol is a gnat with what this nation is facing now and after the election. Wake up !

But Cruz is going to mop the floor with Trump in the Bible Belt. I learned that right here on FR.

Start by reading Trump’s policy objectives on his campaign website. If you have questions after that let me know and I will be glad to respond when I get to my laptop and off this smartypants phone.
I am an evangelical Christian conservative, who refused to support Romney or McCain. Trump pays lip service to nothing he is boldly forceful in his convictions.

Yes I said Marco Rubio. The GOP has to win FloridaTrump doesn't need Rubio to win Florida -- Trump will win Florida regardless.
The truth is, Rubio is NOT POPULAR here in FL. Conservatives loathe him, as do Democrats, on different ideological bases, but the same reason: he's a snake.
(That said, Trump does seem to like Rubio, and Rubio hasn't been vicious in attacking Trump. He was actually surprisingly gentle and respectful toward Trump on the Nuclear Triad thing, for instance.)
To: M. Thatcher
They will most likely split the evangelical vote in the south. Cruz can’t survive if he’s getting no more than half.
To: HLPhat
The question you keep repeating and we keep ignoring would make a great thread you could start and we can all ignore...zzzzzz !
Full of yourself much?

Thank you all for your offers of help to understand. I think I get what he is saying regarding the issues, I’m just not sure that I’m not being sold a line. When the hard-sell comes, I typically and instinctively jerk hard the other direction. I’m picking up some of this out of Trump and his apologists. Plus, as a social conservative, I feel like I’m being told to just shut up and go along for the ride.
We are all freedom-lovers here. I can’t just shut off my skepticism and jump on the Trump bandwagon, especially when my values are being downplayed and ignored at best and assaulted at worst and I feel like I’m being sold a used Ford with 187,000 miles on it. Looks good on the outside, but how’s the transmission? I’m going to very closely consider his positions, but I cannot ignore his former actions either. He may very well be the best of the rest, but I’ll take my time and figure it out.
Smooth sailing - Thanks for the article. I gave it a read, but I’ll bookmark it to go through more thoroughly. With regards to one of my previous posts, I am just posting my opinion. It was not intended as an attack. My apologies if you were offended.
Lord bless,

Interestingly, the number one thing I like about Trump is I perceive him to be a honest man who will do his best to do what he says he will. I can’t say that about anyone else running other than maybe the Marxist running under the Dem ticket.

I accept your apology.
I hope the article will be helpful.
You’ve got plenty of time to make up your mind.
The vote that counts is still 9 months away! 8^)
